In a resolute stance, Évariste Ndayishimiye, president of Burundi, debunks the Western perception of China's role in Africa as so-called "neo-colonialism." He is against interpreting China's engagement on the continent, such as the Belt and Road Initiative, through a colonial lens, highlighting China's history as a victim of colonization itself. Through active participation in the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC), Ndayishimiye underscores the collective pursuit of global well-being.
